At the Electric Earth

I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but I had to express the glory of the sandwich I'm eating. It's a BLT, but it has avocado, cheddar cheese, onions, and mayo on it as well, and is wrapped up in a nice light wheat. And they're not skimping on the avocado either. That's rare.

As I was walking over here I was mourning the fact that now I have to walk a block and a half, instead of 20 feet, to get coffee. But now that I remember what the sandwiches are like at my new closest coffee shop, I'm reassured.

I do love my new place though. Yesterday was the most hectic and frustrating day ever, but now that I've calmed down and started organizing things, I'm really excited. The kitchen is a lot bigger, and I hippie christmas-ed myself some cool stuff out on the side of the road, so now I just have to wait for my parents to show up so I can get the rest of my stuff and finish unpacking.

Adventure on the High Seas

I had a little adventure this weekend--it even made the newspaper:

Then I went and spent 2 days in super-rural Wisconsin. That was an adventure too, albeit a quieter one. I think I'm coming home next week! Let's do fun things!

Up Too Late

I can't sleep. Not that I've been trying for too long... I guess I'm settling into my typical summer habits. The other one is not eating. It's too hot to cook.

Life is not terribly exciting. It's too hot to move so I've been filling myself in on the first season of 30 Rock for the last 2 days. I think I am Liz Lemon at heart. I have a workaholic's brain (in a slacker's body).

It's 4:30, and probably just about time to go to bed, instead of reading Tina Fey interviews online.

Home Improvement

I just bought a couch! It was $20 at Savers, and Jack and Jon very kindly helped me get it home and up the stairs. Now it's along the wall where the end table and folding chairs used to be. The living room looks tiny, and the end table is just floating in the middle of the room with nowhere to go. I did not think this through. However, it did inspire me to clean out the living room closet and put away my shoes. I found my guitar in the back of the closet. I am going to learn to play it this summer--that's a resolution. I'm also going to write a play. And clean the rest of the apartment. Just in time to move out.

I still have no job. This is getting sad. I'm going to be in a 24 hour play tomorrow, that will fill up one day. I've been feeling rather complacent lately. I don't like that. I think I will wear my blue beret tonight. Maybe a nice outfit too.

Parenthood

I imagine this week is like what sending your first child to preschool for the first time must be like. My little Asymmetry baby is in a big theatre with a set and lights and costumes, and I'm all the way in the back of the house, so far away from all the actors! It's a surreal experience. And it's almost out of my hands at this point--tomorrow night we'll have a small preview audience, and the next night, the real audience, and I just sit back and watch. I am having trouble absorbing all of this.

Finally!

I might be dropping my English major! I can't wait!

Things That Are Awesome

- I think our neighbors' friends are trying to break into our neighbors' apartment. They're at the main upstairs door and keep yelling and ringing our doorbell. I'm not answering, it's 2 am and I don't know who they are.

- I got rejected from the meaningless acting title for the second year in a row today.

- I have a 14ish page "short" (not short) story due on Monday and have less than a page written.

- I have no time to write said story as I have rehearsal at 10:30 tomorrow morning and am immediately afterward leaving for Illinois for a festival that will go until Sunday.

- Since rehearsal starts at 10:30, I have to get up at 9ish to shower and make it over there, which means I will get 6 1/2 hours of sleep if I'm lucky. And probably less tomorrow night and the night after.

-The cheeseburger and milkshake I had at Sonic last night was easily the most balanced meal I've eaten in a week. It was also one of the only meals I've eaten this week.


Yes, this has been a great day.
